He said : “The attention of the management of the University of Ilorin has been drawn to a statement currently trending on some social media platforms.

“It is to the effect that the university had announced the date and procedure for the screening of candidates for admission for the 2017/2018 academic session.

“The purported announcement even went as far as directing admission seekers to a phantom website on which to upload their eligibility details,’’ he said.

“The online announcement is the handiwork of scammers and 419ers who are bent on taking advantage of the anxious admission seekers to swindle them of huge sums of money,’’ he said.

He advised the public to exercise patience so as not to fall prey of fraudsters.

“We therefore warn all admission seekers and their parents/guardians to exercise some patience and wait for the official release of screening instructions by the university.

“They should be wary of falling cheaply to the antics of scammers,’’ he warned.
